Maclean’s releases 2019 university rankings by student satisfaction

Maclean’s has released its 2019 rankings of Canadian universities by student satisfaction. Based on a survey completed by 23,000 students across the country, this year’s rankings introduced a new question on how well universities are making Indigenous histories, cultures, and languages visible on campus. The top spot in the Medical/Doctoral category went to Université de Sherbrooke, while Wilfrid Laurier University claimed top spot in the Comprehensive category. Bishop’s University earned the top spot in the Primarily Undergraduate category. Respondents to the survey gave their opinions on professors and staff, residence life, and opportunities for extracurricular activities and experiential education, such as co-op programs. Students also weighed in on such topical issues as mental health services and whether they think their university is doing enough to prevent sexual assault on campus. Maclean’s
